Viveka Vahini

A Project to spread the message of Swami Vivekananda

An Appeal

“If you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative” said Rabindranath Tagore.

When Swami Vivekananda was asked in America about his motherland, he said “India I loved before I came away. Now the very dust of India has become holy to me, the very air is now to me holy: it is now the holy land, the place of pilgrimage, the Tirtha!”.

To this great son of India, in what way can we pay homage? The foremost thing we should do is to spread his message. In that direction, Ramakrishna Mission, Vijayawada has planned to launch Viveka Vahini – a fully equipped van with audio - video facilities and Ramakrishna - Vivekananda literature. This Viveka Vahini will carry the man-making and character-building message of Swami Vivekananda to the whole of Andhra Pradesh in general and to the coastal districts in particular.

The project – Viveka Vahini is estimated to cost Rs.10 lakhs. We earnestly request you to contribute your mite to this noble cause. Your contribution by cash/cheque/D.D. can be made in favour of “Ramakrishna Mission, Vijayawada”. It will be thankfully received and acknowledged with our official receipt. Please note that donations to Ramakrishna Mission are exempt from income tax under section 80G.
